Radiation Oncology

Experts in Radiation Treatment

Stanford has been a leader in radiation technology since developing
the first medical linear accelerator in the Western Hemisphere in the
1950s. Stanford Radiation Oncology offers a variety of innovative
radiation treatments for patients with many types of cancer. Because
the team is at the forefront of developing the newest methods for
radiation and teaching them to other doctors, Stanford's patients have
access to some of the most advanced radiology treatments in the world.

The TrueBeam is the newest model of medical linear accelerator, the
mechanism that transforms electrons into photons by shooting them at a
metal target at nearly the speed of light. The energy from that impact
is measured in millions of volts. When the photons, or X-rays, contact
cancer cells, the result is meant to be so lethal that the cancer
cells will lose their ability to reproduce and will then die.
